Dalrymple is one of Tasmania's most consistent Pinot Noir producers, and the 2022 is a standout — sourced from three of the island's finest sub-regions: Pipers River, Coal River Valley, and Ouse. This multi-site approach gives the wine extra complexity while still keeping the cool-climate precision Tasmania is known for. It's a Pinot built on fragrance, detail and structure rather than weight.

What makes this wine stand out

This is all about layered Tasmanian complexity. Red and dark cherry, wild strawberry and pomegranate sit at the core, lifted by pressed wildflowers and a distinct savoury spice character. There's a subtle exotic edge too — almost five-spice and savoury barbecue nuance — adding intrigue without overpowering the fruit. The defining feature is the balance between purity and complexity, with fine tannins and bright acidity carrying everything through a long, detailed finish.

Food Pairing

A medium‑bodied, multi‑site Tasmanian Pinot Noir like this shines with rich, game‑style poultry. We love it with Free Range Chicken Breast Fillet from My Meat Man — medium‑rare, with an orange‑herb sauce, the wine's red and dark cherry, wild strawberry, pomegranate, wildflowers, savoury spice and five‑spice‑like nuance echoing the duck's fat and acidity while the bright acidity and fine tannins keep the pairing elegant and coastal‑style. A pairing that does justice to both.

Why this is a smart buy

Multi-vineyard sourcing across Pipers River, Coal River Valley and Ouse gives this Pinot a level of complexity you rarely see at this price point. Dalrymple continues to be one of Tasmania's most reliable producers, and the 2022 is a very complete, expressive release that sits comfortably in the premium Pinot category.
